Mars retrograde occurs approximately every 26 months. The last time we experienced this celestial phenomenon was from October 30, 2022 to January 12, 2023, in Gemini. This time around, the warrior planet of sex, action and desire is backpedaling from a dramatic sign of the zodiac to an emotional one. As a result, we can expect to lose our cool easily and be extra sensitive. Grab a box of tissues, download a meditation app and play your favorite tunes. Feel your feels and prepare for the upcoming chaos.
